Healthy Egg Recipes

Break out of your shell and enjoy cheaper, tastier, protein-packed meals from morning to night

Everyone knows that eggs rule the roost at breakfast. But few men take advantage of this inexpensive muscle fuel at other times of the day. That's a shame, because eggs are delicious, fast-cooking, and endlessly versatile. Toss a few beaten ones with pasta and bacon and you're on your way to an easy carbonara sauce. Roll them into a burrito, stir them into hot broth, or use them to quickly transform leftovers—vegetables, a hunk of cheese, the last few slices of bread—into a savory frittata. They'll keep in your refrigerator for 3 to 5 weeks; in fact, older eggs are actually better for boiling because they're easier to peel. Just do yourself a favor and buy the high-quality organic kind laid by happy hens. For a few extra pennies, you'll enjoy a richer, more densely flavored egg that truly deserves to be served up round the clock.
